Katzkin Questions

[BlueBucky]

I’ve searched through multiple threads about the Katzkin and see some that posted comments that have me thinking twice About changing out the seats on the Wildtrak we have. I would welcome any comments that may help answer the following:

1 - Are you able maintain all the power options when replacing the seats?
2 - If you choose the heated/cooled options does the heated seats work as good as the factory heated ones? I read somewhere that they did not heat up as hot or as fast and wanted to confirm.
3 - For those that have done them, any regrets and would you say they are worth it?
4 - Any pics on the wildtrak is appreciated.

I can’t speak for the Bronco but I got Katzkin in my ‘22 F-150 XLT and absolutely love it. They did not replace my seats or remove the cloth covers but instead put the leather over them. As far as I can tell the heat works just as well as before. I would highly recommend Katzkin 100%!

I did Katzkin. Pics in thread. Would do it again in a heartbeat. To be fair, it came with cloth so I am not sure how OEM heat or leather feels.
My heated seats are very warm though. Leather is soft and installer actually came to my house in IL so it was easy.

Any way to get a list of installers from Katzkin before ordering? I reached out to them but they said I have to place an order and then they will tell me who the installer is. I'd prefer to see the installers work ahead of time and can go anywhere from NYC to Boston, so would be nice to know who their "better" installers are in the northeast.

For my Mustang I bought Katzkins patterned and perforated direct from them, and thankfully the install as well, because they deal direct with installer and defects. I refused to deal direct with lying installer re baggy install that was Katzkins fault...they forgot the stays in the cover on two sets the third set was poor fit on one seat bottom as well.

Their solution to fix bagginess from poor pattern and / or sewing in MX, was to glue foam on top of the seat foam ruining the heat and cooling performance.

Refuse all statements like " it will solve itself in some time" it's total BS which is easily called out bu "specifically how long before next remedy step is taken?". As if leather or vinyl magically forms and shrinks LOL.

After 3 months when Katzkins tried to blame a 50K mile seat bottom for deformation causing bagginess I ordered a new seat bottom foam.

I had to spend way too much time taking pics and emails and calls though they did not try to abandon me until Third set and forth seat bottom.

My advice is buy all from them and never engage with installer except to drop off and pick up.

Myself, I will never buy from them again many shops now prefer the CN stuff, but I would get a full custom job from reputable shop, albeit at double the price and who knows how much hassle.

I sold the car at $7K profit after three years and 45K miles and got he $15 K off 23OBX2.7 with the great brown fabric that grips like Velcro, and brown partial door panels with bronzed dash upper.
